Back in 2002 my friend and I did a 600-mile loop from Moab, through Colorado&#39;s San Juan Mountains, skirting Lake Powell near Hite and up Highway 95, up to Hanksville and Green River. It was a fantastic loop and there are tons of hiking options along the way, especially in Colorado.

I love reading your blog and your tenacity and endurance inspires me.<br /><br />My friend and I take a road bike tour once a summer--4 days/450 miles-ish. We have done everything between Utah County and St George on the south end and SL to Garden City north. We&#39;re stumped for this year and thought driving somewhere and adding in some trail run/hikes would be fun, even if the bike miles are cut a bit. Any ideas?Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08217561619197997678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-82905510340398380422013-06-09T20:29:41.266-06:002013-06-09T20:29:41.266-06:00Way to persevere.

I agree with those who observed that performance levels at high altitudes is not necessarily as cut and dry as simply acclimating to the elevations. Looking back, I&#39;ve always experienced struggles above 9,000 feet, even when I was a Salt Lake resident. This race spent a lot of time at or above 9,000 feet. I think I&#39;d have to actually sleep at 9,000 feet for two to three weeks to bring my altitude performance up to the level of my sea level abilities.

I think I went through similar highs and lows at each point (first 10 miles was amazing! second 10 miles was a slow descent to nausea and puffy gorilla hands...). Thank you and Beat for being patient with my slew of questions and for offering words of wisdom and advice to this newbie. It was a humbling and awe-inspiring experience all around. Have fun at Laurel this weekend!

Plus for my birthday this year I&#39;d have to run a 52-miler. Sheesh. Kudos all around.<br /><br />And the photos are great.

Tough stuff you be. The pics are beautiful. I wish I could have been there though I&#39;m incredibly fat and out of shape so I don&#39;t know if I would have made it 10 miles.Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201053516148787578noreply@blogger.com
